Eastern Ukrainians Are Not Cossacks
Eastern Ukrainians are considered peasants well except the ones who can channel their inner cossack energy and become Cossacks. A Western Ukrainian is a cossack because he doesn't pay taxes, errands living by smuggling across the portive border or steals humanitarian aid to avoid conscription that's why they like the term jidabandata combining the this holy garch with the cossack basically. Like Azov also consider themselves to be Cossacks but Western Ukrainians are not really Cossacks now of course not but traditionally they're not.
